I don't think blocking the g bot from crawling your javascript or css will hurt your overall SEO. He doesn't outright say anything like this in that old video, rather I think he's making an appeal to webmasters to make google's job of detecting sites that use tricky javascripts easier. All my humble opinion of course.

Note that adblockers might block our captcha, and other functionality on BHW so if you don't see the captcha or see reduced functionality please disable adblockers to ensure full functionality, note we only allow relevant management verified ads on BHW.
